Adding Parts in ARI

How to order parts using Partstech in ARI (Auto Repair Software)

One of the biggest advantages of using PartsTech is the ability to easily search for parts within your network of suppliers and add them to your documents.

There are two common ways to order parts with Partstech inside ARI.

From a JobCard (work order), Estimate, or Invoice
From a Purchase Order in your Accounting module

In both instances, you are following a similar flow. You need to:

Click the Order on PartsTech button to start a session
Find the parts you need and add them to your partstech basket
Hit the Submit Quote button
Transfer the parts to ARI
Finalize your order on PartsTech

After you finish your PartsTech session, ARI will automatically transfer the parts where you need them. Your quote can stay in the ARI interface as long as you need it, and you can place your order when you are ready.

Transfer Your Parts to ARI

We will have an in-depth look at the parts ordering flow for individual Job Cards/Estimates within ARI.

Create a new JobCard inside ARI.
Add a Client and a Vehicle (preferably with a valid VIN)
On the JobCard page, scroll down to the Parts & Labor section
Click on the button called “Order on PartsTech.”
Once you click the “Order on PartsTech” button, a new window will open inside ARI and load your PartsTech account straight.
In the Parstech interface, select the parts you want to order and hit the button ‘Submit a quote.’
This will auto-transfer the parts to your invoice. When you exit the Parstech interface back into ARI, you will see the quote session with all ordered parts.
Click the X button to go back to ARI.

After you are back in ARI, you will be asked how you want to transfer the parts:

You can use the wholesale price
The list price
Or you can choose not to transfer any items if you made a mistake

You will see the entire session with all of the parts on your Estimate/ Invoice, and you are ready to place your order.

If you have a previous open session in Partstech, you will see a ‘View Partstech Session‘ button instead of the order one.

Finalize Your Order on PartsTech

When you complete the quote submission from Parstech, all requested parts will be brought to your Invoice/ Estimate. To complete the purchase, do the following:

Review the quote, save the items, or add new – all parts from the recent Parstech session will be there
Review each part of the order (the View Order button opens a window with the part details inside Parstech)
Hit Place order when you are ready to purchase

Your order will be processed by the supplier you’ve selected, and your parts will be delivered to your address.

Add Parts to Inventory

Using Accounting / Purchases

Another way to add PartsTech items to ARI is via the Purchases feature in Accounting. This will allow you to import items straight into your Inventory. Follow the steps below to create a purchase and update your inventory items automatically.

Add Parts and place your order

Create a new Purchase from the Accounting page
Click the order from PartsTech button
– This opens a window with a new PartsTech session
Select the parts you need and create a purchase order
Close the PartsTech window
Choose the price you want to use for the part transfer
The parts will be transferred and registered as a quote session inside your purchases
Review your order and save what’s needed
Place your order

That’s it. Your order should be processed by the supplier.
